Good luck on the clan evolving regardless of you getting banned.

thanks but i'll be unbanned soon enough. 

you know what they say, you win some you lose some.

Hey everyone!

I'm not looking for kudos or anything like that, just wanted to vocalize something that has been on my mind lately, and happened to creep up on me.

As of today, November 6th 2018, I've officially been on the Alora staff team for one year. There are no balloons and there is no cake but I just wanted to make a post because I think this is one of my biggest milestones to date.

I've had a lot of ups and downs being on the staff team, and I believe I've done more good than bad (I hope) since I've been working alongside the other members of the team.

I would like to personally thank Lowkey for doing such an amazing job, and although I wasn't initially promoted to Server Support a year ago by him directly, he has been in reign of the team for Alora for almost the entire time I have been around. There have been a lot of members who have come and go, and I owe a lot to the other members of the team at any point in time I was on it for everything that they've taught me.

That's as far as I wanted to go with this, there isn't much to be said overall, lol. Just a happy moment since Alora has been so close to me for the past year and a bit since I've joined (May 2017). I've made some incredible friends along the way that I believe will go further than my time here, and I've learned a lot of new things as well.

I've played RSPSs for as long as I can remember, and I can honestly say Alora has the best community of any server I've ever been apart of, and has an amazing team running it. Big kudos to you Omicron for creating such an amazing game for thousands of players to enjoy!

The list can go on and on, most of these were off of the top of my head, I would like to thank our current Server Supports as well but they are still slaves and need to earn their specific tag

And I can't tag everyone like I can in discord (although I think everyone would hate me even more than they already do) but I would like to thank the community as a whole for helping me create some awesome memories on this fun journey I've been on so far.

That's it. Road 2 Year 2 achievement thread coming soon with a nice loot tab as well.

This should not only apply to HCIM, but also the other Ironman modes. As far as I know is that UIMs is dealing with the issue also such as duplicates.

I'll give you my support on this suggestion as it could be annoying to all the HCIM players.

What is your suggestion?: Adding a way for HCIM to transfer/give items to other accounts. Not sure the best way of implementing this, but I came up with a couple that made sense to me. 1. Items dropped by HCIM show up to other players the same as they do in OSRS. 2. Items dropped in a HCIMs house appear to everyone, allowing to easily drop trade items.

Is this in OSRS?: The 1. above is, I can drop items on any account type and they will show up for everyone.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No.

How would this benefit Alora?: Currently all other Irons can transfer items by killing themselves in the wild with their main, which is extremely useful to transfer off duplicate items to sell for bond/vote book money. This getting accepted would give HCIM a way to transfer items off their accounts to fund  bonds, just like all other Irons can.

Who was the buyer/website? Asking for a friend.

I figured it was best to share this story since i've been getting multiple messages in my discord asking why I was banned. So here it is, a few weeks ago I was at a buddy's house and unfortunately we were raided by the drug enforcement police due to suspicion of possessing illegal drugs, I had to come up with an agreement to bribe my way out of this. The price that we settled for was really high, and I was purely in University with no job or any way of receiving income nor was I able to ask my parents for help since I knew for a fact that they would resent me for the rest of their lives if they found out about this. I was a little short on the amount we settled for, and I did not want to bullshit this officer since my future was on his hands, so I decided to real world trade everything I had on this server to come up with the amount of money I've agreed upon with the officer.

I didn't want this to happen but I had to decide what was more valuable to me, my future irl or my reputation in Alora, and as what every person would do, I chose my future. My ban was justified and I accept that, but knowing that im on these certain terms I believe that its best for me to call it the end of my journey in Alora. It was a great 2 years here in Alora and wish nothing but the best of luck to everyone.

Yours truly,

Ramon

What is your suggestion?: I would love to see a purple light added to the Raids 1 loot chest to notify you that there is a unique item in the chest before you open it. I think it would make doing Raids 1 a lot more enjoyable when seeing the purple light before opening just like in Theatre of Blood. 

Is this in OSRS?: Yes

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: I looked through what has been suggested before and I didn't see this so i apologize if I passed over it 

How would this benefit Alora?: Giving some sort of feeling when finishing a raid and knowing that you could have a tbow in the chest or a dragon sword rather than not knowing what you got at all. This is one of my favorite features of TOB and i would love to see it come to Raids 1.

make it so we can exit the bank interface by clicking outside of the bank interface, just like osrs @Omicron - this way players don't have to always hit the x out option in the top right to leave the bank interface

-just here to put something for you to add every time you post

awesome QOL updates as usual

What is your suggestion?:

Tradeable donor ranks

Is this in OSRS?:

No

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

No

How would this benefit Alora?:

No more rank xfering for omi

So let me try to explain my idea to you. I was thinking about tradeable ingame donor ranks. For example with maybe 100-500 tokens you can buy a master donor token which will remove 5k of your total donated and give you a tradeable item in game which you can claim to get 5k donated on your account. If you would buy a extreme donor rank you would lose 250$ donated ect. Would make rank xfering not needed anymore and with a little token coast no1 would keep xfering their rank. Let me know what you think and if you dont understand send me a pm on forums and I will try to explain it more.

EDIT: After some disscussing we came up with higher prices from higher donator ranks. For example:

Super donator 200 tokens

Extreme donator 500 tokens

Legendary donator 800 tokens

Uber donator 1300 tokens

Master donator 2000 tokens

This would make xfering your rank pretty expensive so people wont do it over and over plus keep the bond flow going.

Hey all. Well... Turns out I need a new Hardcore. I fell as my net went down while at Zulrah. I went downstairs to see why my net went down and I see my Mom was supposed to turn off a light but somehow turned off the net. Thanks for that! The account died with the following:

I'm legit fairly triggered right now. If I had of forgotten to pray or something I wouldn't mind that but something out of my control to cause the death is annoying as hell. As you can see, I had made great progress. Blowpipe, Toxic trident, Zulrah pet & 2x Crystal seeds in 118 KC. Trident at 110 KC. Plus all the Crafting & Herb exp I had banked. Ah well.... Onto the next!

Hello everyone,

The long awaited Halloween update is finally here! Along with this, we’ve added a few other things you’ve requested, such as Donator icon toggles (both the ability to hide your own AND the ability to disable them entirely on your client), banking quantity buttons, mouse wheel zooming without holding CTRL, and even some new cool updates that we thought you’d enjoy such as some tasteful, cosmetic Donator capes to show off your rank and to quickly get to the Donator Zone.

Note: You must update to the latest client to play following this update, otherwise you may run into some issues. If you aren’t on the latest client, a warning message will be sent to you every time you login warning you that your client is not supported.

• Halloween event:
  • This year’s, Eric’s determined to hold the spookiest halloween event for his niece and nephew. He won’t be ridiculed again, but he needs your help to organize it!
    • Speak to Eric at home to be teleported to Port Sarim, where you’ll help him on his adventure this Halloween.
      • Without saying too much, we’ll let you figure out the rest in-game, but we will mention that the rewards can be reclaimed from the lost items shop if lost.
• Alorian capes:
  • A new set of capes can now be obtained!
    • Donator capes:
      • 4 new donator capes have been added, and as long as you meet the rank requirement, you can obtain these capes from the Donation manager and switch between the colors as you please.  These capes cost 500K gp, but once you buy one, you can swap through any color you have unlocked.
        • Extreme
        • Legendary
        • Uber
        • Master
      • Notes:
        • You can use the right-click ‘Teleport’ option to get to the Donator zone.
        • You can use the ‘Switch-color’ option to swap between any of the cape colors that your rank allows you to have.
        • If you lose or downgrade your donator rank, you will no longer be able to equip your cape.
        • If lost on death, they can be reclaimed from the Lost items manager for 250k (half of the original price).
    • Veteran cape:
      • A sneak peak of the Veteran cape is included in the media below, which will be released on Alora’s 2nd birthday on November 4th. This cape is highly exclusive and is only available to players who have a join date of at least 2 years. On the date of release, only 1,325 accounts will be eligible. By New Years 2019, that number will have increased to a whopping 34,500 accounts. Keep an eye out for this cape on November 4th
• Donator icon toggles:
  • #1. Hiding your own icon from everyone:
    • You are now able to hide your own icon if you do not want to show that your are a donator or simply hate the look of the $ symbol. This is togglable by speaking to the Donation manager at home, and can easily be turned on or off whenever you’d like. 
    • Notes:
      • All donator benefits will still be active on your account, and you will still have access to the Donator zone!
      • This will not hide your donator status. This cannot be hidden at the moment, and this toggle only applies to in-game areas. (chat, yells, clan chat messages, news messages, next to username in chatbox)
      • For ironman, when using the yell channel, it will simply no longer show the color of your donator group, meaning it will use the default Classic/Ironman/etc color.
  • #2. Hiding all icons on your client:
    • You can now choose to hide everyone’s donator icons (including your own, if applicable) on Alora. This means that by toggling this setting, you will no longer see any donator icons ($ symbols) in all in-game areas. (chat, yells, clan chat messages, news messages, next to username in chatbox)
    • Notes:
      • This toggle was requested by numerous players as it will make your game look a little bit less like a private server, especially for youtube videos.
      • The setting can be toggled by going to your settings tab, clicking the “Extra settings” button (wrench and hammer) and scrolling down to the bottom.
• Banking QOL update:
  • You can now set a pre-defined amount to withdraw or deposit when banking! 
    • The buttons at the bottom of your bank can be toggled to allow you to deposit/withdraw 1, 5, 10, All or a pre-defined amount (X) when you are withdrawing or depositing items.
      • This will be remembered the next time you open your bank, until you relog, at which point the amount is reset to the default (1).
• Mouse wheel zoom update:
  • You can now use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out without holding the CTRL key. This can be toggled in your settings menu by clicking on the zoom button, and will save to your character on logout to remember your preference. By default, this option is disabled.
    • Scrolling without holding CTRL will work anywhere as long as your mouse is not over a scrollable interface. (eg. Bank interface, chatbox, friends list, etc)
• New bonus rate: Clue scroll bonus
  • Event managers can now set a bonus rate for Clue scrolls, giving you a better chance at receiving good loot from your caskets!
    • This also applies to the Clue hunter rewards and makes them easier to obtain.
    • This does NOT apply to obtaining clue scrolls from NPC loot, it only applies to the loot you get from opening your final casket from the clue.
• Client login fix:
  • Many of you have likely experienced the login screen bug where you click “Login” and nothing happens, but if you click again it will log you in just fine. This has been fixed, and players should now be able to login normally on the first click.
    • Additionally, this fixes another bug where you would connect to a login server that is not optimal for you (more latency), when your client should be prioritizing the lowest latency server.
• Forum profile command added:
  • You can now type ::profile/;;profile in-game to pull up a user’s forum profile. For example, typing in ‘;;profile king purple’ will take you to @king purple ’s forum profile (https://www.alora.io/forums/user/158352-king-purple).
    • This will quickly allow you to locate a user, whether online or offline, if you’d like to send them a message on the forums.
• Youtube shortcuts:
  • ::yt can now be used instead of ::youtube to find someone’s stream
  • ::lowkey and ::salter can now be used to link to @Lowkey and @Salter's streams.
    • If anyone would like their own stream, and has proven that they stream consistently, send me a PM to add a link for yours.
• Client fix on Linux:
  • Some users reported their middle mouse button not working on Linux based operating systems. Although untested, this should now be fixed.
• Reclaimable items update:
  • The following items can now be reclaimed from the Lost items manager if lost on death:
    • Imbued god capes (Saradomin, Guthix, Zamorak) - 500K GP
    • Imbued max god capes (Saradomin, Guthix, Zamorak) - 600k GP
• Drop notifications:
  • Similar to how you receive a purple message when you obtain a Money casket drop, a purple message will now be received when an NPC in the wilderness drops a Mysterious emblem or a Slayer enchantment.
• Soul rune crafting updates:
  • Rather than 108 essence fragments, you can now hold up to 111 fragments in your inventory (accurate to OSRS). Realistically, with 27 in your inventory (minus one slot for a chisel), you’ll only need to hold 108 anyway in most cases.
  • We’ve received positive feedback overall on the difficulty of Soul RCing, but many players believed that the experience rate should be more rewarding for an activity that is more difficult and click intensive than other types of Runecrafting. To address these concerns, we’ve increased the experience rate per rune to 59.4 experience (previously 29.7), doubling the XP/hr.
    • Although this may seem like a big jump, it is still slower experience than crafting other runes (eg. Bloods).
• Veteran yell update:
  • If a Veteran player who is also a donator yells in-game, the [Veteran] tag will now also have the donator icon of their rank next to it.
  • If a Veteran donator speaks in the Clan channel, the donator icon will appear.
  • If a Veteran donator receives a rare drop or any other type of news announcement, their donator rank will appear. 
• Wilderness loot skull bonuses:
  • PvP Armour drops:
    • PvP armour drops are now up to 30% more common when red-skulled, and 15% more common when regular skulled.
      • This applies to all wilderness monsters that drop these armours.
  • All other revenant drops:
    • Any revenant drop with a less than 1/100 rate will be 20% more common when red-skulled, and 10% more common when regular skulled.
• PvP Armour updates:
  • Exchange prices (& protection value) of all of these items has been increased dramatically.
    • This ensures that when dying in the wilderness with these items, they are protected over most other items of lesser value.
  • The 20% nerf outside of the wilderness has been removed in certain areas, providing the full effect of these equipments. 
    • These areas include:
      • FFA Clan wars
      • Clan wars
      • Battle Royale
    • Basically, any PvP area has been included, except for the Duel Arena. All non-wildy PvM areas still nerf the bonuses by 20%.
  • Special attack updates:
    • Vesta’s spear will now make the user immune to any Melee attacks for 8 ticks (4.8 seconds) after using it. Additionally, the delay between using two Vesta’s spear specials in a row has been removed. 
      • If you use two in a row, you will not receive 16 ticks of immunity, though. It is a maximum of 8 ticks from the current time, meaning you will have to re-use the special attack after 5 seconds to get the full benefit of ~10 seconds of melee immunity.
• Dagannoth Rex update:
  • Dagannoth Rex was not properly defending against Melee/Ranged attack styles, making him too easy to defeat. The following has been updated:
    • • He will no longer take any damage from Melee/Range attacks. Magic must be used to harm him.
• New tournament arena:
  • As you may have noticed with last weekend’s EIM Tournament, we have added the DMM maps to use for future tournaments (and eventually actual DMM tournaments when we get there). 
    • Event managers can toggle between this area and the old tournament ring near the Grand Tree.
• Slayer tower bank chest upgrade:
  • The bank chest at the top floor of the Slayer tower (before Grotesque guardians) can now be used to note/unnote items by using them on the chest. This will give some benefit to UIM who unlock the chest.
• Untradable reclaim update:
  • The following items will now be sent to the Lost items manager on death if lost:
    • Goldsmith gauntlets (250k GP buy back)
    • Ice gloves (250k GP buy back)
• Combat changes:
  • Mithril seeds will now move you 1 step even if you are frozen. 
• Orb charging fixes:
  • When charging certain orbs, you do not need runes if you are wearing the correct staff. This was slightly bugged, as it would not check for Battlestaffs, Mystic staffs and mixed rune (Eg. Steam) staffs. This is now fixed and should check all types of staffs.
• Miscellaneous:
  • King kurask animations fixed.
  • Barbarian assault icons reverted to being in the cape slot, as they were causing hands to be invisible.
  • Deadman’s chest (plate body) will now be a full platebody, no longer showing the arms through the top.
  • Essence blocks / Zulrah scales can no longer be ‘equipped’ from the equipment interface.
  • A few of the Skeletal wyverns were constantly hitting 0s. Their attack bonuses and max hits have been fixed.
  • Fixed a bug with insuring Vanguard pet through Probita.
  • The Teleport wizard will now face any player that speaks to him, and not only change direction when teleporting someone.

Happy Halloween! :)

Regards,

Omicron

What is your suggestion?:

Make the Ironman / Donator emblem shown in yell / news while being a Veteran. It's not a high priority suggestion, but that would benefit the Ironmen and the normie players. Nowadays when a veteran gets a drop or an achievement it would not show their gamemode at the yell. 

Is this in OSRS?:

No

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

No

How would this benefit Alora?:

This change will definitely not benefit or damage Alora at all. It's a slight QoL change which would be appreciated a lot by the Veterans we have now.
